LOS ANGELES — With more than 50 years of experience under the program’s belt, Cal State Fullerton’s Chicana and Chicano Studies Department is pioneering a new era of Latin American studies.
The program, whose beginnings are deeply rooted in the Chicano civil rights movement, is creating a new lab centered on storytelling and social justice.
Faculty hope the lab will create a space that reflects “the complexity in the fabric of our life that goes way beyond terms like Hispanic or Latino,” said Gabriela Nuñez, a Chicana and Chicano studies associate professor at Cal State Fullerton.
